Textul de pe ultima copertă

History has recorded many instances in which the right man was present at the right time to further a just cause and bring credit to his nation at a critical moment. This book tells the story of such a man and such a time. Commodore Arleigh Burke provided the fire of leadership that fused a squadron of destroyers into a superb combat organization - the gallant squadron of this book - a real fighting outfit with that vital combat ingredient we know as "fighting spirit". Fighting spirit, like leadership, is difficult if not well-nigh impossible to describe - yet that spirit is brought to life in these pages. Here is a narrative that captures the elusive and mysterious combination of human qualities that add up to inspiration, because here is a story of action, human action, and reaction, in the heat of battle.

In the 1970s and early 80s, Ken Jones served as president of Offshore Logistics, Inc., and then later as chairman of the company renamed The Bristow Group. In the mid 1980s, he saw a bumper sticker on a used Cadillac Coupe De Ville with Louisiana license plates which told the whole story; "Please God, give us one more oil boom, and this time we promise not to screw it up."That was almost fifty years ago, and Ken hopes he doesn't screw up this memoir since he claims his mind is not what it once was. He is now in his late 80s. But what the hell, most everyone involved has gone to another venue by this time, so who is left to comment or criticize?Ken is the author of two previous books, Letters from the Skeleton Coast, and The Black Pearl Necklace.
